Lapsed planning permission.
Discussion
Early stages of looking at a barn for conversion to dwelling.
By the time of completion the full planning will have lapsed by a month or 2. As far as I am aware nothing has changed with planning in the last 3 years - Local plan predates this and nothing new adopted. We would probably want to go back to planning anyway to tweak the floorplan a little. Should the lapsed planning concern me?
We would be cash, I presume that the lack of planning would make finance tricky for competitors?
Mid 1800s, brick built, curtillage listed grade II. Approx 150m2 ground floor + another 50m2 1st floor to be supported by internal steel frame. L shaped but the smaller half to be demolished and rebuilt. Currently tin roof so will likely need new roof timbers up to building regs to support the specified slate. One gable end probably needs rebuilding with appropriate foundations, some stitching of walls and probably a little underpinning.
Budget 2-300k completed, reasonable spec, managed by ourselves, sound the right ball park?
Thanks, James

Thanks for all the replies.
Material commencement not possible as there are a few reserved matters that need resolving before works can be started - landscaping etc. No time for a new app before sale.
Ecology + structural engineer will need updating, CIL the same, no 106, no flood risk. It's been empty since the 70's so can't imagine too much has changed structurally, the structural engineer was quite positive in his 2 reports 5 years apart.
Offers are as is, lapsed planning etc.
Never heard of CDM, that sounds like fun... My girlfriend's last role was the 2nd person in a 2 man property development company, and their last project was a large steel framed barn conversion. She also used to be head of health and safety for a large charity and has the qualifications for that... hopefully should be able to figure that out.
We've done projects before but not quite on this scale.
